MOVAJBLE AND ADJUSTABLE STUDY-CHAIR.

Application iled August 22, 1917.

To all w/wm t concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE PERIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Syracuse, in the countyof Onondaga and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Movable and Adjustable Study-Chairs, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a. movable and an adjustable study chair, the object being to provide a table attachment for a chair in which the table top is carried by a support adjustably mounted on a standard in order to allow the top to be adjusted vertically and at an angle desired in such a manner that the top. will be held rigid.

Another object of my invention is to provide a table support comprising a frame adjustably mounted on the standard carrying slidably mounted members to which a table is pivotally connected in order to allow the table to be adjusted toward and away from the chair and at any angle desired.

Another and further object of the invention is to provide an adjustable study chair which is exceedingly simple and cheap in construction and one in which the standard is so lattached to the extension of the chair, bottom and side rail that the same can be readily detached in order to allow the same to be readily packed for shipping.

@ther and further objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter set forth and the novel features thereof defined by the appended claim.

ln the accompanying drawings,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved adjustable study chair;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a table support;

Fig. 3 is a' perspective view of the table support and table detached `fromrthe standard; and

Fig. 4 is a detail enlarged vertical section showing the manner of securing the standard table support to the standard.

Like numerals of reference refer to like parts in the several figures of the drawing.

In carrying out my invention l employ a chair 1 which is provided with a bottom 2 having an extension 3 as clearly shown in Fig. 1. The lower edge rail 4 of the chair is provided with an extension 5 in vertical alinement with the extension 3, and to these Specification of Letters Patent.

is provided Witha drawer 8, the rail 4 'sition shown in dotted Patented May 10, 1921. Serial No. 187,635.

extensions are secured a standard 6 which 1s provided with a depending portion 7 orming one of the legs for the chair as clearly shown in Figs.

cut away at 9 in order to be readily drawn outwardly into the polines inV Fig. 1. A book rack 10 is secured to the standard as shown in Fig. vl which may be of any construction, but is herein shown formed of side bars connected together by slats.

Slidably mounted on the upper portion of the standard 6 are the vertically disposed portions 11 of angled provided with horizontally disposed portions 12 terminating in depending end portions as clearly shown in Fig. 2. The ends of the horizontally disposed portions 12 of the angled irons are connected together by plates 13 and14 having outwardly projecting end portions provided with slots 15 for the purpose hereinafter fully described. The horizontally disposed portions 12 are connected to the vertically disposed portions 11 by braces 16 and together with the plates 13 and 14 form a rectangular frame.

The vertically disposed portions l1 embrace the edges of the standard 6 in such a manner that they are free to move up and down on the standard as clearly shown. The

.braces 16 are provided with openings 17 forming bearings for a shaft 18 which is provided with a square wrench receiving portion 19 at one end by means of which the same can be oscillated. The shaft 18 carries cccentrics 20 which are adapted to engage the inner face of the standard as shown 1n Fig. 4 for locking the frame in its adjusted position thereon, and it will be seen that by this construction the frame can be adjusted quickly and locked in its adjusted position in order to form a rigid support. j

The plates 13 and 14 are provided with eyes 21 forming bearings for rods 22 which j are provided with flattened apertured ends each other the table canbe desired position and held at any anle. j

y pivotally connecting the angled bars carried by the table top to the slidably mounted rods the top can be adjusted toward and away from the person sitting in the chair as the rods are free to slide in the bearings formed by the ears, and by forming the plates and bars with slots at right angles to adjusted in any angle desired.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that I have provided an adjustable study chair provided ing slidably mounted rods to which are plvotally connected bars carried by the table in with a standard on which is adjustably mounted a frame carryorder to allow the table top tobe moved toward and away from the chair and in connection with the depending bars and the clamping bolts the table can be adjusted at any angle desired thereto and locked in order to provide a rigid top for Writing purposes.

I claim:

In a movable and adjustable study chair having a vertically disposed standard, a rectangular frame having vertically disposed angle irons embracing said standard and slidably mounted thereon, braces connecting the frame to said angle irons provided With bearings, a shaft mounted in said bearings, cams carried by said shaft for embracing said standard for locking said frame in adjusted position thereon and a top carried by said frame.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of tvvo Witnesses.

GEORGE PERIN.
